Science is amazing, but you probably know that already. It’s always nice to have independent confirmation of something like that, though, so AsapSCIENCE produced this delightful short video. It contains a couple of minutes straight of nothing but awesome science facts.

Some of the facts you may have heard before, but this is the type of information that isn’t particularly well-known. You’ve got to listen up because the facts fly by pretty quickly. Hit up the video above to learn weirdly fascinating things like why your uncle Sal looks so much like a mushroom.
